YEAH! Bustin' out the sewing machine...

The green drapes in the living room officially drove me crazy tonight. I was starving when I got home from work but saw those curtains and had to do something about them. I bought this fabric from Ikea that I've been lusting after for awhile but didn't know what to do with it. I know the fabric is a little weird, but I love that kraft colored linen and sloppy white dots. I wanted a pattern for the other windows since I did a solid color for the giant window, but nothing to fussy and something modern and somewhat neutral. I think they turned out pretty rad. Jeff said they look like Bam Bam's curtains next to that stone fireplace, which sounds like an insult but from him it's a compliment. He likes!

The curtains and the whole room look great, Liv. Good work. Jan just sent me a jpg (Large picture) of the curtains and said he also liked them very much. Of course, I am biased, as I like most Nordic/Scandinavian stuff that comes out of Ikea, so I guess we have similar taste.

I think it looks great! Adds a bit of fun design without being too overpowering or crazy! Yabba-dabba-doo!

I just had an epiphany! I've had these ugly moss green, faded velvet drapes in the living room since we moved in. We haven't replaced them because we have single pained windows and they do a good job of keeping the cold out / heat in. I SO need to pay you to make me new drapes!! What do you think?! You are such a good seamstress!
